The Sixth Doctor Plagued by Acai Berry Spam

It’s entirely possible that many of you out there may not know who Colin Baker is, so for your benefit let me mention that he was the entirely dramatic and larger than life Sixth Doctor in the long running Doctor Who TV series. It appears that his Twitter account has been compromised, and is sending Acai berry spamposts to his 31,000+ followers.

It’s not that long ago since Karen Gillen had her Twitter feed compromised, and in fact the scam appears to be almost identical. Be wary of app installs, and do be careful whenever you’re asked for login details (at least one Doctor Who fan has mentioned being sent to the same sort of ads via rogue DMs). If you’re unsure, physically type the Twitter.com URL into your browser to be on the safe side. Let’s hope Colin can reverse the polarity of his password flow in the near future.
